How to disable the default security features in Windows 10

Windows 10 enables a security feature by default that automatically “locks” functional files downloaded from the internet containing executable code. This requires manually “unlocking” the file in its properties before each run, which is extremely cumbersome. Please provide a method to permanently disable this feature.

    Run Command Prompt as an administrator and execute the following command to disable file locking: 

    reg add “HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments” /v SaveZoneInformation /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
